Profound, iconoclastic, and persuasive

Information Therapy: Prescribed Information As A Reimbursable Medical Service by medical consumer activist Donald W. Kemper and Medical self-care and health promotion expert Molly Mettler offers an original and ground breaking proposition to change modern health care for the better. The definition of "information therapy" is that patients should be provided with accurate information, based on evidence, as part of the treatment. The individual chapters comprising Information Therapy discuss how to best put this idea into solid practice, and its impact on the health care industry, and more. Information Therapy is a profound, iconoclastic, persuasive, and a welcome, recommended contribution to the national debate over the nature and need of public health care policy today.
